BOSTON - April 18, 2019 - Californer -- Two Performance Architects team members were recognized by the Oracle Applications & Technology Users Group (OATUG) at last week's COLLABORATE 19 conference for their outstanding contributions to the Oracle users community.

Kirby Lunger, Partner and Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, was named "Member of the Year" for her significant contributions to the organization's Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and governance through her participation in several committees and task forces including the board Nominating Committee and the BI/EPM Task Force.

Consultant Astha Patni was selected as OATUG's first "Women in Technology Recognition Program Honoree" for her passion for spreading awareness by helping other women excel in technology-related professions or fields of study.

"The Performance Architects team is proud of the recognition of our colleagues' significant participation in the Oracle users community," said Mark Solimini, CEO. "We value contribution and learning in the EPM and Analytics/BI arenas, and we appreciate learning and sharing what we know."

"Astha and Kirby have both been deeply involved in the Oracle users community generally, and we so appreciate all they've done to deepen and broaden the reach of the OATUG community specifically. We are delighted to honor them and celebrate their many contributions," said OATUG Executive Director Ragan Cohn.

The Performance Architects team was also very involved in other aspects of COLLABORATE 19, as an Analytics, BI, Big Data and EPM/Hyperion Reception sponsor; as presenters of over ten sessions; and as an exhibitor at the event.
